Be, Inc. will cease to be on March 15th, according to a statement released today on their website. Be will remain as a corporate entity for 3 years after that date, or longer by decree of the Delaware Court of Chancery. This extended time is to be used only for prosecution or defense of lawsuits, and for disposing of assets and closing the business.

It is sad to see Be go, but it will be sweet if they defeat microsoft. And sweeter still if we are all running OpenBeOS when they do. So long, and thanks for all the.. um.. lack of hourglasses? little armless people icons? hmm… Ah yes. So long, and thanks for all the joy you put back into my computing life. It was a great run.
